@GeoffWilsonWAM Interesting that the man whose business model is built on CGT discount never quite gets around to explaining what he'd do differently for the young people he's suddenly very worried about.

“Hiking CGT, as the Treasurer proposes, is not a solution to alleged “intergenerational inequity”. It risks harming the very people it is supposed to help. One cannot help but wonder whether Jim Chalmers misled the electorate in 2025 to pursue an ideological crusade against investors — and, knowing the electorate might see through the spin, wants to hike CGT without taking it to an election” @humpheryjenner thenightly.com.au/opinion/mark-h…

@FlogBiscuit @GeoffWilsonWAM Interesting take from someone whose handle is FlogBiscuit. Gary's spent years explaining why billionaires keep fucking you. Geoff Wilson manages $5B hoping you never work it out. Pick your idiot carefully.

Theft from the next generation will be announced next week by @JEChalmers and @AlboMP. The @ausgov want to double the capital gains tax on long-term investments. This isn’t reform, it’s a brutal raid on every young Australian trying to build a better future.
Punishing success has never created prosperity. #LaborTaxRaid

@MarinaMedvin @BillAckman Thanks sherlock holmes. This ice agent is going to jail
English
I watched the ICE video carefully. The tires move towards the officer first. Then he draws his weapon. She positions her vehicle such that the officer is directly in front of her vehicle. He then fires - only then. The vehicle then veers to the right.

🚨WATCH: Here’s another angle of the woman trying to run over ICE agents in Minnesota.
She was directly trying to run over the agent and was shot in self defense. Horrible situation, but when you turn your car into a weapon… what do you expect.

@elonmusk Exactly sir! Citizens in Australia are kept unarmed, and when ISIS-inspired jihadists attack, police arrive 20 minutes later. If people there were armed then perhaps 15 people would not have died. Even in India, some people talk about gun control, but we know – terrorists or rioters never obey the law. If you disarm only law abiding citizens, the country becomes weak. Thoughts like Thank God for Second Amendment! #SelfDefense

Australian PM announces massive gun grab program following t*rrorist attack in Bondi Beach They imported radical islamists and now they’re further disarming their citizens. Defenseless victims waited nearly 20 minutes for police to respond to the attack.

@MayneReport He would make a great politician the way he dodges questions! I always laugh at how difficult they make it to find the fee structure or the very transparent documentation he talks about.

Challenged about his screaming conflict of interest as chair of WMX, which pays excessive fees to Geoff Wilson for investment decisions, all the Rich Lister can come up with is more breaches of privacy disclosing the size of my shareholding. Again.

@MayneReport Thanks for asking the tough questions....most people have no clue. I love to watch these fat-cats squirm.

Fast talking Geoff Wilson, 72, has built a $500m+ personal pile over-charging retail investors in his various LICs. Enjoyed poking the bear about blatant conflicts at Friday's 30 minute WAM Income Maximiser (WMX) hybrid AGM in Sydney. Here's the wrap:

@MayneReport The fees on many of these funds are eye-watering. Do your research people!

@TwinTurboCe1ica Calling Indigenous consultation 'racism' shows a misunderstanding of what racism actually is. They face significant disparities in health, incarceration, life expectancy etc. Having a voice in policies that affect their communities is about addressing inequality, not creating it
English
Thank you Victoria for embedding racism directly into government.
Can I join this new body, or am I the wrong race?
Can we have more race based bodies or this the only one?

The new democratically elected body, named Gellung Warl, will enable Indigenous peoples to be consulted on laws and policies affecting their communities. Follow live. ebx.sh/s3bSKA

@HuhtasaariSaara @alexstubb The Americans said the same thing before Pearl Harbour was bombed.
English
@alexstubb Your strategy may lead the world closer to prolonged conflict and the possibility of World War III. Additionally, it is crucial to acknowledge that Ukraine's war is not Finland's war.
English
Russia’s latest strikes on civilian targets in Kyiv are yet another example of three simple facts:
1. Russia has no intentions of ending this war.
2. Russia has not changed its main strategic aim of destroying the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
3. Russian strikes on civilian targets are a blatant violation of international law.
The only thing that President Putin understands, is power. The only thing that will bring him to the negotiating table is pressure.
Finland will continue to support Ukraine with all necessary diplomatic, financial and military efforts. For as long as it takes.

@Fish_Lips_ @shallowchal I have been saying this for years....but even a 20%-30% drop is nothing after such a huge run up??
English
Its going to be wild... When it collapses we got to remember that its going to take down a shit tin of service companies that the building industry rely on. The ripple effect is going to be jaw dropping imo.
Considering how much housing prices have increased which varies wildly depending the location, Im thinking we could be talking 70-75pc bleed out in order to correct to an affordable level...
What % are you thinking ?
English
Canada and NZ housing markets collapse. Prices down 20 percent and dropping faster than your local small business can slash prices to pay rent this month. 😵
Rate cuts failed. Migration backfired.
Is Australia next?🤑
The bubble is cracking but the government still thinks it’s fine. #auspol #housingcrisis

@ggreenwald Surely a person of your intellect understands that discussing positive aspects of specific infrastructure projects or public works in a country is materially different from discussions about alignment with that country's current foreign policy or leadership positions@SenSanders

So ironic: Bernie accuses Trump of "aligning himself with Russia's dictator." Bernie was accused of that for decades after visiting USSR, Cuba, Nicaragua and praising them.
Here Bernie gushed about the beauty and efficacy of Moscow's subway: what Tucker got vilified for doing.
Sen. Bernie Sanders@SenSanders
We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy. Here are my thoughts:
English
@elonmusk Obviously Putin is planning to line your pockets. New lows for yourself and the trump administration.
English
Zelensky cannot claim to represent the will of the people of Ukraine unless he restores freedom of the press and stops canceling elections!
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47
In America, we hold a presidential election every four years -- even during wartime. We held an election during the Civil War. We held an election during World War II. Before President Zelenskyy decides to lecture the American President again, he should hold an election too.

@TMFScottP @Mercfan3Mercfan So how do we change this? What is the solution?

@JewSharkCheese @MaxAbrahms @BillAckman @KamalaHarris All that seems to be forgotten 🤣. In a test of poor character there is no contest....Trump wins the Gold medal. Of course Trump isn't power hungry either.

A devastating indictment of @KamalaHarris political career. She is not fit to serve our country.

@MayneReport The lads at intelligent investor seem to think there is some creative accounting going on. On top of that, the product has steadily deteriorated....especially since the McDonald's executives stepped in. I will be interested to see where this goes.

Just bought 200 shares in Guzman at $25 as the float hype comes out of the stock. But will it keep going to below the $22 float price? Time will tell: asx.com.au/markets/compan…
